Sinopse

Learning Strategies offers a comprehensive guide to effective learning techniques, bridging the gap between cognitive psychology research and practical application. It emphasizes that learning is an active, strategic process, not merely passive absorption. Readers will discover how understanding cognitive processes, such as memory encoding and metacognition, can unlock their learning potential.

 
The book explores various strategies, from traditional memorization techniques like spaced repetition to hands-on learning methods such as project-based learning, enabling students to enhance knowledge retention significantly. The book uniquely emphasizes personalized learning, encouraging readers to adapt strategies to their individual learning styles and goals.

 
Drawing from diverse sources, including empirical studies, educational research, and neuroscience, this psychology textbook presents evidence-based information in an accessible tone. It progresses logically by first introducing the fundamentals of cognitive psychology, then exploring a range of specific learning methods, and finally focusing on critical thinking strategies.

 
Ultimately, it equips students, educators, and professionals with the tools to improve their learning outcomes and achieve lifelong learning goals.

How to Have Willpower - An...

Plutarch, Prudentius

How to Have Willpower brings together two profound ancient meditations on how to overcome pressures that encourage us to act against our own best interests—Plutarch's essay On Dysopia or How to Resist Pressure and Prudentius's poetic allegory Psychomachia or How to Slay Your Demons. Challenging the idea that humans are helpless victims of vice, these works—introduced and presented in vivid, accessible new prose translations by Michael Fontaine—emphasize the power of personal choice and the possibility of personal growth, as they offer insights and practical advice about resisting temptation. 
 
 
 
In the spirit of the best ancient self-help writing, Plutarch, a pagan Greek philosopher and historian, offers a set of practical recommendations and steps we can take to resist pressure and to stop saying "yes" against our better judgment. And in a delightfully different work, Prudentius, a Latin Christian poet, dramatizes the necessity to actively fight temptation through the story of an epic battle within the human soul between fierce warrior women representing our virtues and vices. 
 
 
 
Plutarch and Prudentius insist that we allow pressure or temptations to get the best of us. But they also agree that we can do something about it. And their wisdom can help.

It Should Be Easy to Fix

Bonnie Robichaud

In 1977, Bonnie Robichaud accepted a job at the Department of Defence military base in North Bay, Ontario. After a string of dead-end jobs, with five young children at home, Robichaud was ecstatic to have found a unionized job with steady pay, benefits, and vacation time.
		 
After her supervisor began to sexually harass and intimidate her, her story could have followed the same course as countless women before her: endure, stay silent, and eventually quit. Instead, Robichaud filed a complaint after her probation period was up. When a high-ranking officer said she was the only one who had ever complained, Robichaud said, “Good. Then it should be easy to fix.”
		 
This timely and revelatory memoir follows her gruelling eleven-year fight for justice, which was won in the Supreme Court of Canada. The unanimous decision set a historic legal precedent that employers are responsible for maintaining a respectful and harassment-free workplace. Robichaud’s story is a landmark piece of Canadian labour history—one that is more relevant today than ever.

The Virtues of Captain America...

Mark D. White

In The Virtues of Captain America, philosopher and long-time comics fan Mark D. White shows us that this fictional superhero's "old-fashioned" moral code is exactly what we need today to restore kindness and respect in our personal and civic lives. 
 
 
 
Now in its second edition, The Virtues of Captain America is updated to include all the new developments in Captain America's saga. This edition also offers new material on Sam Wilson—formerly Captain America's partner the Falcon who recently became Captain America himself—and how his interpretation of the role compares to Steve Rogers's. 
 
 
 
The Virtues of Captain America examines the moral and political philosophy behind eighty years of Captain America comics and movies; demonstrates that the core principles and judgment exhibited by Captain America in the 1940s remain relevant in the twenty-first century; and illustrates how Captain America stands for the basic ideals of America, not its politics or government. 
 
The second edition of The Virtues of Captain America remains a must-listen for everyone wanting to make ethical decisions in complex real-world situations and tackle the personal and political issues of today with integrity and respect.
